FricFrac · 04-08-2009, 10:39 PM

So what is the price increase from base - $10Kish?

id jus swap out the nismo nose for the base front and keep the wing. The Nismo front lost its aggressiveness, but besides that everything else is cool with me.

Kind of, but what model of the 7th gens are you referring to? The 2000-2002's definitely had the fangs.

2000-02

2000-02 w/original TRD lip

2003-2005

2003 2005 TRD package

2004-2005 Tsunami edition

350z version was 2 years. they made 1607 of them

this one looks like it might be around for a while as the wording about the numbered plate talks about including the model year. so it seems its a permanent trim to me

I called my dealer he seems to think he can get one in any of the standard colors. He's supposed to get back to me on the combinations.

I guess I have to be more or less the first one to say it, but I hate all the exterior body changes of the Nismo. Maybe I'm just getting older, but to me it screams RICE!!!

It's like they've taken all these beautiful lines of the 370, which really made it look so much like some older Porsches, and stuck crap on it from all sides. That goes double for the side skirts. Then they made it longer again (after shortening the base car from the 350) w/ that ridiculous nose, and yes it does look like a celica. And by far, the worst, the absolutely worst thing about it, are those cuts in the rear bumper--way to royally fk up a car.

The wing is actually not bad, I wouldnt get it, but depending on what you like, i can totally see some people jumping on it. I dont like the wheels as much as I do the sports package wheels, wish I had those on my base. The red stitching interior is cool too.

I think Nissan did a great job with this Nismo design!

Actually the nismos always look great.

I heard a rumor that NISMO is thinking about providing the new NISMO Z with an oil cooler. Since the car is more performance/track focused than the already amazing 370, it would make perfect sense IMO. Again this was just a rumor that I heard from the grape vine.

They basically have to. If they put out a NISMO that overheats on the track after four laps, people will laugh at them. If they call the car track focused, which they do, it needs the cooler. Period.

Looks better than the nismo 350 but still looks little rice ah roni. I bet a lot of teens would like it but I think people that are older won't like it as much. They should of made it more aggressive looking and not something a 16yr old would do to their car.

tvfreakazoid · 04-11-2009, 03:04 AM

So what are the big difference between a Y pipe and H pipe configuration? Is there another configuration that would be better than the H and Y.

Agreed. You want to make a special version of the car, and you want it to look respectable, look at what BMW does with any of their M models (M3, M5, M6), don't take a truly beautiful car and make it look like a 16 yr old went to town on a civic.

tvfreakazoid · 04-13-2009, 04:09 AM

Exactly! When you look at the M versions of the bimmers they do a good job of making the cars look nice, sexy and appealing. Where as with the nismo it looks like a 16yr old design the it. The back looks cool. The wing part is a little big. The side view is good, but the nose is the really deal breaker. They did a little here and there but they should of tried to loose a little bit of weight as well. But that's my personal feelings.
